News: Japanese whaling like 'Nazi experiments'
A CHILEAN politician has likened Japan's declarations it hunts whales for scientific reasons to medical research the Nazis conducted on humans. "The Japanese should not be the Nazis of the present time; only the Nazis assassinated thousands of people for research,'' said Senato Guido Girardi of the ruling centre-left Concertacion alliance. "It is not true that scientific research requires killing; that would be like saying that to do scientific research on humans one has to kill them first,'' said Mr Girardi...Chile has been vocal in criticising the whale hunt and wants to present a new initiative before the International Whaling Commission next year in a bid to combat the practice.
